Basil

Simply Roots proudly offers fresh, fragrant basil, celebrated for its vibrant green leaves and signature sweet, peppery aroma.​

Grown in Ensenada, Baja California, our basil thrives in an optimal climate, ensuring exceptional flavor and freshness in every harvest. This delicate yet versatile herb is a staple in culinary traditions worldwide, enhancing everything from classic Italian pestos to Thai curries and Mediterranean salads.​

Basil’s distinctive aroma and bold taste make it an essential ingredient for fresh sauces, infused oils, gourmet garnishes, and creative beverages. Its natural pairing with tomatoes, cheeses, citrus, and olive oil makes it a chef’s favorite for adding depth and fragrance to any dish.​

Beyond its culinary appeal, basil is packed with antioxidants, essential vitamins, and beneficial plant compounds, making it a valuable addition to health-conscious diets.​

Due to its delicate leaves and sensitivity to temperature, basil requires careful handling. It is best stored at 50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit to preserve its texture and prevent darkening, ensuring it arrives fresh and full of flavor.​
